PE and Sport Premium

Please read the information below which gives details of our PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding. You will find important documents and links to other PE pages below.

Sports Funding at Great Missenden C of E School

The four objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:

• To improve the quality of existing PE teaching through continuing professional learning in PE for generalists, so that all primary pupils improve their health, skills and physical literacy, and have broader exposure to a range of sports
• To increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils, and maintain these into adolescence
• To increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport, and to promote PE specialisation in primary level workforce
• Schools understand and value the benefits of high quality PE and sport, including its use as a tool for whole school improvement

The 5 Key Indicators:

1. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.

2. Profile of PE and sport is raised across the school.

3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and Sport.

4. Broader experience of a range of sports.

5. Increased participation in competitive sport.

Possible uses for the funding might include:

• Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers when teaching PE
• Supporting and engaging the least active children through new or additional Change4Life clubs
• Paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport
• Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE and sport
• Running sport competitions, or increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games
• Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE and sport
• Providing places for pupils on after school sports clubs and holiday clubs
• Pooling the additional funding with that of other local schools

Since the sports funding has been granted, Great Missenden School has spent the money in various ways to improve the quality and choice of sport within school. This is particularly relevant this year with the grant funding being doubled for primary schools. This has allowed us to participate in further events in the academic year.

We have, once again, bought into the Dr Challoner's High School Sports Partnership for £2000. It is a yearly subscription which allows the school access to more competitive organised sport against other schools in the partnership. By being part of the Dr Challoner's High School Partnership we have allowed more children from a range of years to represent the school in competitive sport.

We also have, through the partnership, access to specialist PE teachers who have been in to train the current staff. The funding has also paid for staff members to be trained in Module 1 and 2 of swimming training, as well as completing the required Shallow Tank Rescue certificate. This allows the staff to run swimming clubs after school and to use the swimming pool during PE or Games lessons. Without this training, the school would not be able to run swimming on site during PE or Games.

The grant is also used for membership of the MPSSA (Misbourne Primary School Sport Association) where local schools compete against each other in; handball, cross country, table tennis and athletics. The dates for these will be available in the school diary.

The school also enters into competitions put on by other organisations that are not in the partnership or the MPSSA. We have entered the Misbourne Games for years 2 and 6 which take place in the summer. The grant has been used to allow children to enter more competitive sports against other schools and to provide cover or transport to allow teaching staff to accompany them.

We have hired specialist sports coaches to teach the children in their respective fields. These include; the chance to shine cricket foundation. We will be bringing them in again this year. AJD football, who have taken PE lessons for KS1 and run an after school football club for KS1 and KS2 children, as well as Wycombe Wanderers FC, who run a football club for year 5 and 6 children. We also have been running some martial arts school clubs this academic year. If the school provides a paid after school club and a pupil premium child wishes to take it up, the sports grant is offered to pay for their entry.

We have a varied and large amount of sporting clubs on offer to the children at Great Missenden. The clubs we have on offer are; Netball, swimming, rugby, (where we are assisted by local rugby clubs) football (both boys and girls), table tennis, cricket in the summer (again both boys and girls), cross country and many more. The reason we offer so many clubs is down to the fantastic staff we have - we really do pull together all of their talents and skills in many areas of sport meaning we offer a wide range of sporting/non-sporting activities to cater for all.

We have used the grant to buy better equipment for the school for PE lessons and clubs. We have purchased new equipment for a variety of sports and games which the children enjoy using, linked to our updated whole school overview. Purchases have been made for both key stages and for all abilities. We have purchased equipment designed to be used within PE lessons, both indoor and outdoor, and for children who are looking to progress their skills. We have also purchased equipment that the school did not have before. I am pleased that the school now has sufficient equipment to provide numerous sporting opportunities to the children.

The grant has also been used to purchase scheme of works for the teachers to use or training for the teachers which can be passed on during staff meetings. TOPS cards have been bought for swimming, invasion games KS1 and 2, Athletics, net and ball games, striking and fielding games and Val Sabin gym and dance schemes of work. We have also bought into the Real PE scheme and have received training on this as a staff.

I believe that the school is making very good use of the grant and the children of Great Missenden have plenty of opportunities to experience new sports and quality sports coaching. We offer a range of sports clubs and the children have more chances to represent their school in competitive matches against other schools. We are very fortunate in this school that the teaching staff are willing to run clubs where they themselves are proficient. I am very passionate about sport in school and I firmly believe we are meeting the OFSTED guidelines for how the money should be spent.

At Great Missenden CoE Combined School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children. See PE Policy, Action Plan and Whole School Overview of PE teaching below for further information on PE in the school.

What is the Sports Premium?

The government is providing funding of £150 million per annum to provide new and substantial primary school sport funding. The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. Each school will receive £16,000 plus an extra £10 per pupil - here at Great Missenden CoE Combined School we have been given a total budget of £20,150 to use for sport. Please check out our orders and recent spending to find our most up to date figures.

Recently the government have committed to funding the primary school Sports Premium up until 2020 - an investment worth £750 million and something we are very happy to hear at Great Missenden School, with sport being very important to us.
